Well damn . Wonder why they released a trailer of the Ur-Dragon. Looks like some zombie dragon thing . Can't wait to fight and kill it! Battle seems like will be interesting though.. jumping up onto it's face and the environment helping out too a bit.

The Ur-Dragon encounter in Dragonís Dogma will take the form of an asynchronous, ongoing online encounter, where players and their parties from around the world can compete online to take down the Ur-Dragon. The effect and damage done by of each of these parties will be combined until the creature is defeated. This will take multiple encounters, but all players who inflict damage on the Ur-Dragon will receive great spoils. The person who inflicts the final blow will receive the greatest reward of all, and all slayers of the Ur-Dragon will have their names and play times recorded in the hall of fame for bragging rights. Meanwhile, offline players will still be able to take on the Ur-Dragon alone, but will receive different rewards at the end.

Wait, so if you encounter the Ur-Dragon you fight it with real people? Sounds epic!

I don't believe you'll see other players. It's asynchronous, which I interpret as meaning a specific 'dragon' will be assigned to different players worldwide, and their damage on that dragon is cumulative. They won't necessarily be fighting it at the same time, and the article stated you would have to fight it multiple times. I'm sure this means it has massive HP.
